Up and down the country, England flags are flying at half-mast - or being torn down in disgust - because our brave lads the bunch of useless, overpaid tossers that we call the England football team, have once again rolled over and died before our greatest footballing foe: Germany.
It wouldn’t have been so bad, had [...]
Another thing that has come to annoy me over the past weeks, as regards staying in hotels, is that they never have a bog brush in the bathroom.
Now, I don’t know about you, but if I make a mess, I like to clean up after myself. I know the chambermaid probably thinks nothing of it, [...]
I’ve never needed a great deal of sleep - unlike the current Mrs Masher, who, if she doesn’t get her full eighteen hours is scratchy for the rest of the day.
No, five or six hours is generally enough for me.
But, when I’m working nights, I tend to average only three to four hours as I [...]
I’m very tired: I’ve had two hours sleep, out of the last 36.
We had some problems at work, which meant I had to stay on a bit longer. Luckily, we managed to get it sorted, but it made it too late to go back to my hotel and have a snooze and a shower before [...]

“Oh, did you hear about Trevor?” he asked. When I replied in the negative, he regaled me with a tale that left me almost speechless.
I’d worked with Trevor many times in the past on a [...]
This post wings it’s way to you all the way from bonnie Scotland. Although, there’s nothing bonnie about it as I type this. Looking out of my window of my room, in the Premier Inn at Glasgow Airport, all I can see is grey cloud and drizzly rain. And the concrete flyover for the M8.

I’ve taken a few days off work this week and, as the sun was shining brightly in the sky yesterday, we decided to spend a small fortune at Chessington - World of Adventure - it’s in a field, just outside Esher.
Having now experienced its delights, I [...]
